zZounds Gear Experts Say...
The Ampeg SVT450H offers classic Ampeg tone. With 450 watts of solid-state power, the 450H is an affordable entry into the Ampeg sound.
Overview
In the world of high performance bass amps, the Ampeg SVT-450H gives you more power, performance and flexibility than any other bass amp in its class. And if we didn't tell you, you'd swear the SVT-450H was a tube amplifier. Producing warm, tube-like performance at stunning volume levels (it's rated at 450-Watts RMS at 4 Ohms), the SVT-450H uses Mosfet technology and offers a full complement of professional features, such as: Optocoupler Limiters, which prevent unwanted power amp distortion, no matter how loudly you play; and an onboard 9-Band Graphic EQ that allows you to sculpt a tone that is second to none. In spite of all these amazing features, the SVT-450H is still our most affordable bass head.

Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
This amp gives distinct Ampeg tone without the extra weight, hassle and dependability issues with tubes. If you like the BA115 you'll love this one.
Sound
I own a solid state BA115 and wanted the same sound for the stage. This amp delivers. It has a clean, warm tone despite being tubless. I played five shows with this on an 8-10 enclosure with NO effects and the on-board EQ off and received many compliments on my tone. There's plenty of tonal range to play with. If you like the solid state practice amps, you'll love this one. No problems getting good sound to the PA through the XLR line-out.
Features
The best features are simplicity and durability.
Ease of Use
A very classic, straightforward amp.
Quality
The amp I received is cosmetically perfect, was packed well and tough. Good handles. The ONLY thing I don't like is that the angle of the control panel doesn't protect the knobs. That's just the classic design, I overcome this by packing it carefully in a travel case.
Value
If you buy cheap, you'll buy twice. If you want Ampeg tone, durability and dependability, get this rig.
Manufacturer Support
No issues yet, but their online info was top notch. I was confident buying this rig sight unseen based on the reasearch I was able to do at the computer.
The Wow Factor
It's Ampeg. It's right at home next to our two Marshall stacks. With this thing at the end of your cable it tells the crowd you're a serious bassist.
Musical Background:
Rock star by night!
Musical Style:
70's to present rock.
